Unemploy Obama | The Weekly Standard

In normal circumstances any president with the record of the last four years like Obama's would not have a chance for reelection. It seems his campaign recognizes that he cannot run on his record so he resorts to a strategy of destroying Romney to win reelection. And he might well succeed with the unrelenting help of the mainstream media.

Normal circumstances or not, the challenger must convince voters that he is a reasonable alternative to a failing incumbent.  Romney has a few months left to do that.

He could do a lot worse than the these ten points from the article linked below to get our country moving in the right direction again.
  • Extend the Bush tax cuts for one year
  • Arrange for mortgage forgiveness
  • Impose a moratorium on new regulations not urgently needed to save lives
  • End crony capitalism
  • Break up the big banks
  • End the madness that lets bankers totter off with giant bonuses
  • Make wealth and success respectable again
  • Treat small businesses as the valuable wealth and job creators that they are
  • Get health care reform right
  • Attack the deficit
  • Move against trading “partners” who live off sales to Americans but restrict access to their own markets. And those who steal our intellectual property.
  • Save entitlements
